    Hi All,

    Sorry I cant seem to find another thread for this, but i am sure there will be one somewhere.

    I have about 10 banana's that have turned into a ripeness that I no longer find palatable.

    I am looking for a couple of recipes to try and turn them into something else, I keep finding recipes that say use 1 or 2 banana's which would mean I would need to make about 5 batches to rid myself of the bananas!!!

    I'm sure someone will be along in a mo with links for all the many threads on black bananas. My fave for now is to peel, wrap in cling film, chuck in freezer, then use when I'm making milkshakes. Makes the milkshakes like nice ice-creamy ones.

    I usually put bananas in a freezer bag with their skins on and when frozen blend them down and it is like low fat ice cream.

    Hi everyone,

    Please help

    We got a real bargain at Asda yesterday, 3.5lb of yellow sticker bananas for 9p! we need done for banoffee pie but there are still tonnes left and some are black and need using urgently.

    what can we make? Any and all ideas are welcome.

    Thanks

    Well, muffins and loaf cakes seem to work better with older bananas, plus they usually freeze well.
    Or you could just go on a detox and just eat banana smoothies all week!!:D
